No denigration is intended. Rather, I'm trying to encourage others to consider an alternative to traveling the well trodden path of copying and tweaking - a path I spent years upon back during my development of an earlier program, Spector. Not that the Spector work was wholly unproductive; it was the genesis of the chess data standards and of the first tablebase generator distributed on the net. But as an AI effort it could not be measured as much of a success. There just wasn't enough risk involved. The best thing that could of happened to Spector's early development is if someone had helped me consider aiming higher and taking greater chances. This would have saved years of work.
